A non-delegable duty is described as a stringent and "personal" duty. It is more than a duty to take care, it is a duty to ensure that reasonable care is taken. In other words, a party that owes a non-delegable duty cannot delegate it to a third person. 3, record 1, English, - non%2Ddelegable%20duty

More controversial has been the wisdom of placing the employer ... under responsibility for harm caused by a contractor in the performance of the work. This disguised form of vicarious liability is imposed wherever the defendant is said to be under a so-called "non-delegable" duty, in the sense that he cannot acquit himself by exercising reasonable care in entrusting the work to a reputable contractor but must actually assure that it is done and done carefully. 3, record 2, English, - non%2Ddelegable%20duty
